4 1. Position of WoSoF : Fashion s studies often include a discussion of garment art and design, textile technology and craftsmanship, gender theory, matriarchy, patriarchy, and more generally, what proponents describe as the social, historical, and cultural constructions of clothes from the textile perspective. Although 65 % profits of the fashion luxury industries are made by the jewellery and accessories production. These studies usually do not pay attention on the jewellery and accessories from a fashion and design perspective. Studies of jewellery and accessories on the other hand, generally focus on aspects of history, old-fashioned craftsmanship and technique, and the material science. However, very few studies explicitly take a contemporary theoretical and methodology ( more contextual / philosophical ) perspective from the art, design and fashion, researching how meaning is produced and what is the position of representing fashion from those objects (jewellery, handbag, shoes, hat, glasses and so on) on body rather than garment and textile. WoSoF ( World Symposium of Fashon, Jewellery and Accessories ) therefore proposes to step into the great potential to set a program with international networks, and connect both jewellery and accessories design, fashion s studies and practice, to fill this gap. It takes fashion s studies as a context to look at the jewellery and accessories art design practice, history, curation and management, and see how this perspective influences, gives new meaning and possibilities to fashion and design development.
